KIS ASSEMBLY MEETING - JULY 7, 1977 PAGE 2
the timeliness of the construction season perhaps the assembly could
authorize the owner to proceed at his own risk with respect to the
expense while we study the policy question of the tax credit. Hrs.

road to Ter building site on Lot 13. Woodland Acres, 1 st Addition.

had had time to get more information, the client could come back and ask

to properties. Hrs. Wallin moved to amend the motion to state that the
road must meet minimum state standards for secondary residential roads.

from the borough in which they would endorse the concept of the village
accepting the increased responsibility of becoming an established local
government (an incorporated 2nd or 1st class city) under Title 29 of the
Alaska Statutes. It is felt that such a letter of endorsement would
speed up the development plan. Request No. 2. Concerning the Afognak
Planning & Zoning Committee which war formed in the fall of 1975, they
would like to have Mr. Milligan, borough planner, assist in some of the
village planning. Mr. Estes moved that No. 1: the chair instruct the

No one spoke against the ordinance. Public hearing closed; meeting
opened. Mr. Estes moved that Ordinance No; 77 -14 -0 be approved at the
second reading. Seconded by Hrs. Wallin. Because there was no develop-
ment plan available, Mr. Bishop offered to get one. Mrs. Wallin moved
to table the request for 15 -20 minutes. Seconded by Mrs. Kavanaugh.
Motion carried - 1 with Mr. Jack casting one NO vote.
B. Ordinance No. 77 -15 -0, amending the KIB zoning map and definitively
zoning all lands within the borough not previously classified. Mr. Jack
read Ordinance No. 77 -15 -0. Mr. Denslow explained that there was a flaw
in the structure of the ordinance by virtue of portions of the island
not currently included in a district on the map representing a void in
the maps coverage under the code. Also you had requested that an exten-
sive study be done on mechanisms for preserving the integrity of the
unzoned portions of the island for any intrusions that may occur from
the off shore oil interests that are evolving. Combining the two it
was recommended that the borough adopt the conservation district as the
broadly applicable land use pattern for that unused portion of the
island and to amend the zoning map in the ordinance to implement that
objective. This has the recommendation of the planning and zoning
commission and feels it meets the interests of the community. Mrs. Wallin
stated that the borough was in receipt of letters from Karluk, Old Harbor,
Ahkiok, Larsen Bay and Ouzinkie asking that the ordinance would make
provisions to include their village townsites, in the Karluk case, core
townsite, to zone it all R -1. Mr. .Milligan stated that those letters
were in connection with two separate issues, replatting and rezoning
which will be taking place later. At :resent the villages are non -zoned
areas. The existing land uses would become legal non - conformities. If
desired the areas could be rezoned R -1. It is urgent that they start the
housing construction in these areas by October 1, 1977.
Mr. Logan: Stated that the P 5 Z Commission passed the ordinance and
recommended its approval. He recalled that they recommend approval to
rezone to R -1 the village subdivisions of Karluk, Ahkiok and Old Harbor
and accept the plat with variations for lot size for Karluk, for a
vacation and replat of Ahkiok and Old Harbor. Mr. Simmons had asked that
the ordinance read: all lands within the village or city be townsite
tracts, in Karluk case, core townsite, be zoned R -1, anything else which
is presently unzoned at this time be zoned conservation. It was felt that
at the time when their overall plan will come up it would designate where
would be the business, etc. Mr. Estes stated that if we could send a
letter from the borough to Mr. Simmons that it is our intention to get
compatible zoning for the entire villages that this would be sufficient
to go ahead with their construction. Mr. Peotter stated that under New
Business this ordinance as Item R could have first reading by title,
such action would satisfy the requirements of HUD. This would not be in
conflict with Ordinance No. 77 -15 -0.
Public hearing *lased; meeting opened: :Mrs. Kavanaugh moved to adopt
Ordinance No. 7`/ -15 -0. Seconded by Mrs. Wallin. Motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote.
ITEM VI A. Mrs. Wallin moved to remove from the table Item VI A,
Ordinance No. 77 -14 -0. Seconded by Hrs. Kavanaugh. Motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote. Mr. Bishop displayed his plans and sketches.
Mrs. Kavanaugh stated that it was necessary to know where the building

up and the completion date. Mr. Bishop stated he would put this require_c
information in writing and submit it to the planning department. It
was suggested that Mr. Bishop set 3 years as his time limit for this
construction. Mrs. Wallin moved that a develonent nlan be included
for the planning department. Seconded by Mrs. Cavanaugh. Main motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote.

X ASSEMBLY COMMENTS
Mr. EStes: No comments.
Mrs. Kavanaugh: (1) Wonders if some of the used oil the borough has
to diopod.. ..f ..an be used on the Chiniak road, or other borough roads,
to alleviate the dust situation. If the assembly concurs, would like to
have Mr. Denslow look into this. (2) With reference to the situation
we had tonight, when the tax card shows a property zoned as business but
the zoning map says residential, which takes preference? Mr. Peotter
stated that the zoning map takes preference.
Mrs. 'Wallin: (1) Asked to know whether or not the borough owns the
land at Terror Lake. (2) Asked the assembly's wishes on the ao
of a temporary manager under 29.23.470. It was decided not make such an
appointment. (3) Mrs. Wallin moved to initiate the rezonin• of Lot 7,
Block 1, Southeast Addition from R -1 to R -2. Seconded by trs. Kavanaugh
Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. (4) Mrs. Wallin moved to
initiate the rezonin- of Dave Bean's ro.ert Lot 10 Block 3 Kodiak
ownsite rom to .usiness. econde• .y trs. avanaugh. Motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote. (SY Noted points for clarification
on School board minutes of June 13, 1977 under correspondence: "a letter
of resignation from Superintendent Robert Greene was read asking that
he be released from his contract no later than August 1 and no sooner
than Septemberl, 1977" (page 1). It was determined this was a clerical
error. On Page 2, for information only, the report was that Mr. Greene
stated he was in Juneau and Anchorage where he has spent time discussing
grant allocations and funding for the next year for school programs.
Item 2 stated that state maintenance funds in the amount of S27,500
were finalized for the upgrading of Peterson Elementary which included
painting and replacing of broken glass and in the minutes of June 27
they moved to restrict a portion of the general fund balance after the
closing of the 1977 books to be carried over as reserves for 77 -78 for
the specific purposes listed, one of those purposes being Peterson
School contracted repair. She wondered if there were two budgeted
• amounts for repairs on Peterson School. On May 31, 1977, page 4,
concerning waivers of school district employees if members of their
families are serving on the school board. Mr. Peotter stated that this
is a customary practice and is required under law. For information
purposes, according to the May 23, 1977 minutes, Mrs. Wallin stated she
was in favor of having meetings in the villages but questioned flying out
knowing that there would not be a quorum. Mr. Peotter stated that it
is required by law that when a meeting is scheduled they must attend the
meeting and cancel it for lack of a quorum. (6) Regarding the borough
land sale, a list of lands that will be available for sale within a few
mon the whs given to the assembly. Asked if it will be on the work
session schedule of July 30, 1977 to determine which land will be public
interest land and which will be for sale. The land sale will probably
be set for September. Mr. Denslow was asked to identify on the list
the lands that will be for sale. (7) Mrs. Wallin stated that the people
of the Kalsin Inn area and many for several miles around are interested
in listening to the broadcast of the school board, city council, p & Z
Commission and Assembly meetings. They inquired as to whether it would
be possible to broadcast work sessions but it was felt that due to the
length of the meetings it would be impossible. Because of the great
interest in borough activities, Mrs. Wallin suggested that the assembly,
at least once a year, advertise and set up meetings with the Kalsin Bay
il community as well as those of the other road systems. Chiniak area
would be included with Kalsin Bay, Rendezvous area would be from there
on in to town, Island Lake community would be combined with Monashka Bay
area, the Bells Flats could either be in town or combined with Island
Lake. This would keep the assembly -in closer touch with the residents of
those areas regarding their needs and wants. The assemblymen would not
receive per diem for this travel, with the exception of Dr. Emmick.
(8) A mistake was made in the minutes of June 2, when firs. Wallin
stated that the three members interested in being appointed to the
Alaska Coastal Policy Council, 9 member committee 6 being elected; it
should be 16 members with 9 being elected. i)o word has been received
from the Governor's office concerning this. (9) Mrs. Wallin has

brought up the concept of the Kodiak Island 3orough, private entity
Koniag and the State of Alaska sitting down and exploring the possibility
of entering relationships regarding OCS joint venture for tha benefit of
all the community. Since then she has become aware that the North Slope
Borough is also talking to their native cornorations on the same basis.
It was suggested that perhaps a meeting could be set up between the two
boroughs since their impact problems are very similar which may open new
economic opportunities for the borough. Mr. Denslow stated he felt there
was a very real advantage to this proposal which would allow the assembly
to get more involved in these matters. 'Ars. Wallin Moved to authorize
the KIB manager to write a letter to the "north Slope Borough asking them
if they are receptive to such a proposal. Seconded by Mr. Jack. Motion
carried by unanimous roll call vote. (10) A work session was arranged
for July 8, 1977, probably after 2:00 D.M. between the borough and the
Ouzinkie board of directors to attempt to settle a problem regarding the
watershed issue. The time was set for 5:00 p.m. in the assembly chambers.
There will be four Ouzinkie representatives in attendance. (11) If aeon
wished to stay after the meeting, Hrs. Wallin had some matters to go over
with the borough manager they might be interested in concerning the
watershed issue.
Mr. Jack: Stated he felt very strongly about the vote taken at his
request to find out what happened to the 8134,000 school board reserve
fund and asked those who voted against it to justify themselves. Mr.
Peotter voted against the motion on the basis of a requested legal opinion
regarding the matter. There is the possibility that the assembly has no
business to investigate their business operations. Mrs. Kavanaugh con-
curred with Mr. Peotter. Two attorneys have been contacted to research
this and will present written documented statement to the assembly.
Mrs. Wallin asked that anyone who had not had the opportunity to read the
0.E.D.P. update before Saturday, July 9, do so.
Mr. Peotter: He concurred with Mrs. Wallin that a very fine job was done
on the 0.E.D.P. update.
Mrs. Wallin explained that when it is necessary to hire another attorney
in addition to the borough attorney, it is up to the manager to do this.
